Former president Donald Trump faces criminal and civil charges related to the 2020 election, and events that followed including insurrection, and allegations of fraud and financial misconduct. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The legal proceedings have been slowed down due to his appeals. He is due to face trial in four separate cases. A decision on whether he can stand in the upcoming GOP primaries in several states for the 2024 presidential election is pending, with a ruling against his candidacy in Colorado potentially setting a precedent for other states.
